Environmental rights die for election

The upcoming federal election puts an end to lawmaking in progress, including Bill C-469, the Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights.  The fact that this Private Members bill could have passed the House of Commons is a  success.  Canadians are increasingly recognizing the importance of environmental justice to a democratic society.  Consider it a rebirth.
